I hope this program returns next year. You see, when I walk on the street now, parents greet me saying I taught their children how to use the computer, so I occasionally show them how to request a service on Irembo, and you can see that they will no longer have to pay that 500 RWF service fee.

Earning a place among champions was possible thanks to curiosity, creativity, and perseverance. This journey has been all about learning, growing, and staying inspired. I look forward to many more opportunities to learn

Being recognized as the top performer for the week of 11-16 August was exciting! Staying focused and passionate about learning truly pays off, and it reminds me that consistent effort leads to great results.

Before Smart Ibiruhuko, I was interested in technology but I didn’t know where to start. I learned how to code and work on projects during the program, and now I am confident in trying new skills in technology by myself.

My favourite part was making our own project and then getting to show it to other people. I learned a lot of things during the program, and I also became more confident in speaking about my ideas and working with other students, which will help me in my skills improvement.
